In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until it becomes translucent, about 2-4 minutes; then remove from heat and set it aside. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, pulse half of the beans and 1/2 cup of rice until the mixture becomes a thick paste. Transfer this processed bean mixture to a large bowl and combine it with the remaining black beans and rice, the cooked onion, bread crumbs, egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of salsa, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly by hand, pressing the mixture until it holds together. Shape the bean mixture into 4 patties. Cook these patties over medium heat in the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil until they are firm and browned, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of salsa. Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, burger patty, cheese, and the sour cream mixture on each bottom bun,
adding tomato and red onion to taste. Finally, place the top buns on each burger. 1177×1765
